This insightful set of essays reveals the day-to-day lives of the British colonists who laid the foundation for what became the United States.
John A. Grigg is assistant professor of history at the University of Nebraska–Omaha.
Numerous illustrations from contemporary sources enliven the text.
The editor provides sidebars throughout the chapters, many of them
bibliographies of individuals which exemplify the life and the
changes described. Each chapter concludes with a bibliography. A
general index, a glossary, and a general bibliography make up the
other additional material. A list of primary sources, with
substantial excerpts from each, presents contemporary support for
the themes examined. High school libraries, and colleges that
support survey courses in American History, will find this a useful
supplement.

Serious effort was made to match the coverage of these volumes to
high school curriculum standards. This set is perfect historical
analysis beyond the textbook. Each volume is carefully researched
and documented. The thoughtful essays, presenting content
unavailable in other sources, are ripe for analysis by upper level
students. Our AP US History teacher was thrilled to see them! Books
contain black and white illustrations. Brief biographies are
scattered through the text. Highly recommended.' Reviewed Together
